Posted on Sep 18, 2006

A former Air Force colonel said on CNN, “We are conducting military operations inside Iran right now. The evidence is overwhelming.”

Now, lets think this out. If Iran is an enemy of Israel and America is a colony of Israel then

Iraq was invaded because of the danger it had presented to Israel. Does any one recall when the Russians used the Cubans to fight some of their military conflicts. Now the greatest power on earth is the instrument for Israel’s military and political strategy.
